Should you worry about currency movements? Trustnet Magazine is out now!

20 January 2023

The weak pound helped limit investors’ losses last year. Trustnet Magazine asks if you need to worry about this trend reversing.

The latest edition of Trustnet Magazine, out today, focuses on currencies. While you shouldn’t gamble on the short-term direction of currency movements, it doesn’t necessarily mean you should ignore them altogether, especially after a poor year for the pound in 2022 propped up any earnings from overseas. Read this month’s cover feature to find out what you need to know.

Elsewhere in this month’s issue, Daniel Lanyon asks if investors can take the dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency for granted over the long term, while Anthony Luzio looks at what was behind the wildly differing fortunes of the Brazilian real and Turkish lira last year.

This month’s sector focus falls on IA Sterling Corporate Bond, which is offering attractive yields once more following last year’s shakeup.

In the magazine’s regular columns, John Blowers reveals three questions everyone needs to ask when building their retirement plan, Dunedin Income Growth's Rebecca Maclean names three stocks whose focus on sustainability is making them more resilient, and Rathbones’ Emma Saunders explains why she is adding the BlackRock European Absolute Alpha fund to client portfolios.
